Claudiu Komartin (1983, Bucharest) is a Romanian poet, translator and editor,[1] considered to be one of the most important Romanian poets of his generation.[2]

The first poetry book of Komartin, Păpușarul și alte insomnii, published in 2003, won the Mihai Eminescu National Prize.[3] The second book, Circul domestic, won the Romanian Academy Poetry Prize.[4] In 2010, he initiated The Max Blecher Publishing House, an editorial project aimed at promotion of contemporary Romanian literature, relatively less-known outside of the country, as well as bringing underground Romanian authors closer to the public and eventually integrating them into mainstream literature.[2] Since 2010, Komartin is the editor-in-chief of Poesis international, a literary magazine.[4]

He also translated from French, English and Italian.[1]

Komartin's poetry has been translated to a number of languages, including English, German, French, and Spanish.[1]
